LXDE applet for control brightness

08 April 2025, 11:12:40

 Hello everyone.
 Can you please tell me where I can download ( find ) lxde applet for control brightness ?
 I want to have an applet (icon) on my panel so I can control the brightness of the screen with my mouse.
 For example like cbatticon (Lightweight battery icon for the system tray ) which is in the repository.

Perhaps screendimmer or luminance from the AUR?

Thank you very much for your recommendation.
I've seen this app, it looks great, but I haven't figured out how to make it so that I can reduce or increase the brightness in one step, as it works in e.g. in LXQT.

Follow the compilation instructions (you'll need base-devel installed), then sudo copy backlight.so to /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins/ and bklight.png to /usr/share/lxpanel/images/. If it works after a logout/login, consider creating a proper PKGBUILD. However, I doubt you can compile it, last commit was 10 years ago...
